United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has warned it will not be "business as usual" in the transfer market and said during football's shutdown from Covid-19 that "speculation around transfers of individual players for hundreds of millions of pounds this summer seems to ignore the realities that face the sport".
The form of Solskjaer's men since returning to action last month has also suggested United do not need to spend tens of millions in the upcoming window.
The emergence of teenager Mason Greenwood - who has scored three times in his last two games - has helped quieten speculation over a move for Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho.
